Tuner
Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be
received. (“TUNED” or “STEREO” flashes in
the display.)
• Set the proper band and frequency (page 14).
• Connect the antenna properly (page 7).
• Find a place and an orientation that provide good
reception, then set up the antenna again. If you
cannot obtain good reception, we recommend you
connect a commercially available external
antenna.
• The supplied FM lead antenna receives signals
along its entire length, so make sure you extend it
fully.
• Locate the antennas as far away from the speaker
cords as possible.
• Try turning off surrounding electrical equipment.
A stereo FM program cannot be received in
stereo.
• Press FM MODE repeatedly until “STEREO”
appears.
